Granted. Everybody’s boomer parents and grandparents across the globe now call you, and only you, for support. You are on call, 24/7, until all support issues are resolved.

Basically the God’s email part of Bruce Almighty.

Eventually OP creates a ticket system to manage all the incoming support requests. They finally lose it when Mrs. Johnson has somehow run “sudo rm -rf /” for the 6th time this week and has also somehow managed to disable preserve root.

It’s Red Star Linux. You can patch out the spyware but that requires about 10 terminal commands and 95% of people say it’s not worth the trouble.
